I've noticed a lack of auto-auctions as of late. What stops us from bringing back World Dominaton Co., and maybe a better stocked Potions R Us?

So I'm looking to buy a pair of swords. I'd like both to be lv. 40, two sockets, bronze, and enchanted with luck in a multiple of five (5, 10, etc.). Since I'm not having much luck asking around, I figured here would be worth the shot. Anyone up for it, and how much will they run me? Also - since th...

Good - that just means that we have no multi-million dollar legal team to keep this place from being wiped off the face of gaming. Either way - bah on you. This branch of the conversation would best be kept to PMs, so if you want to continue...

How do you propose abuse be limited? My idea was to create a bit of "mutual risk" to prevent people from trying to work the system to their advantage. The person vowing risks losing their stuff if they cheat, and the vowee risks being slowed down by lack of certain channels. Vowing should ...

I only used the idea of intervention to keep people from doing something stupid. If you know that the possibility of losing everything you've worked so hard for is out there, you're less likely to try and risk it all just to spite some newbie who hasn't really hurt you at all. Caretaker intervention...

I think that might make things a bit complicated, and too many people would cry "unfair" if they got vowed for by someone with a skill they find to be useless. Besides - none of these abilities would be new, they'd just be ones that already exist. These abilities would be paramount to the ...

I like Isabelle's idea of limiting what bone can be used for. The concept of "Bob's Big Bone of Bashing" seems a bit dry for my taste, though. Taking into account the previous information given by our resident experts (IC and OOC), why not allow something more like this: Helmets (wear the ...

@Isabelle - I tend to disagree with that one. A sorceress would likely have some abilities specific to herself or her craft that she would pass on to her apprentice. As it stands now, a paladin could vow for a mage. To make your analogy more accurate, what about restricting vows to those sharing a c...

No - what happened was that I had an idea after reading *this* topic, but realized after posting that it belonged in the *other* prestige class thread.

Why not just make the current epic classes the prestige classes? You'd have your class requirement filled, and the skills would be logical extensions of the source classes themselves. Each epic class would have some default skills (determined by the source classes), but would also have a unique skil...

As Emeralite is a gift from the gods, it is (at least partially) holy. Making something with emeralite is akin to prayer, in that it allows you to make use of these divine gifts. To melt down Emeralite a second time would be to desecrate the divine authority of the gods to gift anyone they choose, a...

Firstly, crafted daggers need more than 2 sockets. If a sickle can have 3, then so can a dagger. Why not limit sickles to two sockets as well? Runes aren't *that* small. Second, we need to be able to soulbind for ruc/unh/hol runes again...I miss those Sad Not having experience with them I guess my q...

"People" have failed the newbies, so the system is broken. If the player base was more responsible, this wouldn't be an issue to begin with. It's time for a more harsh system, because the freedom we have now has been exploited far too many times.

Okay, here are my thoughts. 1.) The right to vow becomes tri-av only. 2.) You may have 5 characters under 30 vowed for at any given time. 3.) Since you're taking responsibility for their actions, you automatically recieve 1/2 of any jail time they happen to accrue. 4.) In case of troublesome newbies...

I like the idea of being able to melt down items, but make it a craft (Expert or something). The amount you recover (if any) is based on your skill in the craft, the material in the item, the level of the item, and its quality. Gear of lower quality would be more impure, so less of it would come bac...

Something like that already exists, but it needs to be more all-encompassing. Further, at some point (during character creation or via an NPC) it needs to be obviously referenced so that people can't make excuses for not knowing. We can't assume that every lv. 1 knows what's going on, and I fear tha...

So after helping out a lost newbie, I decided that I should post the following idea ^_^ When you first leave the academy, you see Bolo right? He should tell you about recall scrolls, splints, and bandages. Maybe he could sell them, or tell you about the shops where they can be purchased. To me, newb...

So here's where we put our money where our mouthes are? Okies!

Go for it ^_^

Many thanks for the warm reception of my alternative history. Gives me something to think about ^_^

Yeah - I've noticed that. The fact taht people are actively trying to make things diferent is really unique though, and it's a fact I enjoy quite a bit.

Eh, we'd get in more trouble for having Orcs - the Tolkein estate is still trying to sue every MMORPG for using 'em.

At any rate - Mt. Doom is a feature of the Tolkein estate, and the much-feared Legal Council of Elrond won't be pleased that we're not paying royalties for its name.
